Vineyard days and sunset evenings near Trapani

Baglio Sorìa places you among Firriato’s vines and olive groves in the countryside outside Trapani. A restored rural estate with sixteen rooms, a pool and a restaurant, it invites you to enjoy western Sicily at a leisurely pace.

Visit hilltop Erice or wander through Trapani, then return for a swim and dinner at Santagostino. The Belvedere’s views towards Mount Erice and the Egadi Islands make an evening drink a pleasure in its own right.

We recommend a car for exploring from here, with free private parking at the estate. Enjoy dinner on site or drive into Trapani for an evening out.

Stay for four or five nights after Palermo, leaving time for the salt pans, Segesta or a boat trip from Trapani, as well as a day enjoying the estate.
